Chapter 7: Founder of a Metaphysics of Morals (1784-1787)
- Hamann, Briefwechsel (September 19-20, 1784): "Kant has sent off the manu¬
script of the Foundations." See also Ak 10, p. 308, where Kant claims that the
work was at the printer's twenty days before Michaelmass. - Thus he wrote on December 31, 1765, to Lambert that he had finished a minor
work on the "Metaphysical Foundations (Anfangsgründe, not Grundlegung) of
Practical Philosophy," which, together with the "Metaphysical Foundations (An¬
fangsgründe) of Theoretical Philosophy" was soon to be published. If it had ap¬
peared, it would no doubt have looked rather different from what he published
twenty years later. See Ak 10, p. 56. In the winter semester of 1770-71 he ex¬
pressed again hopes to complete a "pure moral philosophy in which no empirical
principles can be met." The matters he would have dealt with in this work would
undoubtedly have been much closer to the Foundations, but they would have still
been treated differently from the way they are treated in the final product. See
Ak 10, p. 97. See also pp. 136-138 and pp. 201-204, this volume. - Ak 10, p. 279.
